What if the tremendous success and conceptual cohesion of the unified code base of mathematics is largely the result of bad math teachers making the field unattractive to all but the smartest and most tenacious students?
In Germany, failing math students will usually become math teachers. I always thought that to be a disastrous accident of the German system, but mathematicians are very smart, so perhaps they want to have mean bouncers in front of their club?
